SHOTGUN SLAYINGS.

February 2, 1989

ST. ALBANS, W.VA. — SHOTGUN SLAYINGS. The first two bodies were found Jan. 8 at a trailer compound. Another was found Jan. 21 at an abandoned motel near the compound. Another turned up soon afterward at a nearby home. Two more bodies were found this week at a junkyard. All had been shot several times at close range with a shotgun. Investigators had a consistent pattern, and now they have a suspect in the slayings. Mark Southern McCallister, 19, was held without bond Wednesday on charges of murdering brothers Billy and Otis Sanson, who had lived with him at the compound. Prosecutors said McCallister confessed to killing the brothers, but they would not give a motive or say whether he would be charged in the other slayings.
